    It’s more likely to be some sort of license for companies than anything else. I’d be impressed if they actually think the average windows user would pay for it.

      Microsoft has been moving more and more of their products to a subscription service. Doing it with Windows itself has been theorized for a while now.

        I’d pay 5 bux if all the Microsoft features were unlocked, office 360 n all that. I’d pay 5 bux a month if they stopped screwing around with interface and all and just make things SIMPLE, unhackable ETC. Id pay 5 bux a month if it Microsoft OS was the best, easiest , plug n play type of deal. If they enovated and made me anonymous and unhackable on the internet I would pay it. There’s no thing as perfect but windows and there constant upgrades ETC have annoyed me for years. I’d still use windows 7 if I could; but noo… they had to go and “enovate”.
